The village of Craobh Haven is a small community comprising only about 30 houses on the North Shore of the Craignish Peninsular opposite Shuna Island on the beautiful West Coast of Scotland.
There is a busy 200 berth marina and chandlery with yachts coming and going throughout the year. The village has a very well stocked store and the local pub and restaurant, 'The Lord of the Isles' producing excellent dining and bar meals for all of the family.
There are many things to do in and around the village without the need to drive anywhere if you don't want to .
This part of Scotland has plenty of ruined and habited castles and many sites of architectural and historical interest to visit. Kilmartin house, just south from the cottage, houses an archaeology centre.
Oban is about 18 miles North of Craobh Haven and has most of the ferry routes and daily boat trips to the Isles.
Mull, which has many popular tourist attractions-Miniature steam railway, distillery, Tobermory and more, can easily be explored within a day from the cottage by taking the ferry from Oban, as can Iona and Jura.
Argyll is renowned for its many fine gardens such as Crarae Garden, and just 5 mins from the cottage on the way to Oban is Arduaine Gardens.
There are many places to eat within a few miles including the 'Lord of the Isles' pub and restaurant within the village of Craobh Haven, and the Loch Melfort Hotel just 5 minutes away beside Arduaine Gardens.
